My both children went to this centre. This childcare centre has been an amazing experience for our family. The educators are warm, caring, and genuinely invested in each child’s development. Our child feels safe, happy, and excited to attend every day, which gives us great peace of mind. The communication with families is consistent and reassuring, and we truly feel like partners in our child’s development.” We highly recommend this centre to any parent looking for a nurturing and professional childcare environment.”

Curriculum and programs

Curriculum and programs

The educators at Goodstart Early Learning follow an evidence-based curriculum that aligns with the Early Years Learning Framework. Informed by world-leading research, practices and techniques, the curriculum encourages the children’s natural curiosity and engages them in their learning journey.

As the children move through the different rooms in the centre, the curriculum evolves with them. The educators set goals for the children and celebrate as they reach their milestones. At every stage, the educators are tailoring the curriculum and goals to each child’s individual needs.

The curriculum involves different types of learning experiences and styles. From child-led learning to sessions guided by educators, the children participate in small and large group sessions as well as individual play. Most importantly, the children learn through play, developing social skills, confidence and independence in addition to more formal academic skills.

Parent communication and involvement

Parent communication and involvement

Goodstart Early Learning uses the StoryPark app to connect with parents throughout the day. The educators upload photos and stories to the secure app, which parents can access anytime and anywhere to track their child’s progress. 

The approach at the centre is very much based around partnership between families and educators. The educators work with the parents and carers to build strong relationships. They develop trust so the children can feel safe and secure while at the centre. Parents are also encouraged to share their insights and feedback with educators to add depth to the relationship.

The educators observe the children every day and tailor the program around their observations. They share these with parents, so they can feel connected to their child’s progress and also provide feedback that will further enhance their child’s learning experience.

Cannot recommend Goodstart Regent enough. I have had both my boys here from a young age (under one) and have had no concern for worry. The educators have been nothing but nurturing to my two boys during their key developmental years and have assisted both my COVID babies with great social skills when I myself could not provide. They listened to my concerns about learning to walk as well as potty training and worked very close with me to assist in growing these skills. My boys see the staff here as family and we will be so sad to see our time here end when the last one goes to primary school. 10/10 recommend

Response from the owner 22 Dec 2025

Thank you so much for your beautiful review, Giovanna. We are truly honoured to have supported both of your boys through such important early years. It means a great deal to know you felt listened to, reassured, and supported every step of the way, and that your children felt so nurtured and connected. Creating strong partnerships with families and helping children grow in confidence and independence is at the heart of what we do. We are so grateful for your trust and kind recommendation.
